17 UAmatsiya ukumkani wakwaYuda wathabatha icebo, wathumela kuYowashe, unyana kaYehowahazi, unyana kaYehu, ukumkani wakwaSirayeli, wathi, Khawuze siqwalaselane ngamehlo.
18 UYowashe ukumkani wamaSirayeli wathumela kuAmatsiya ukumkani wakwaYuda, wathi, Ikhakakhaka eliseLebhanon lathumela kumsedare* oseLebhanon, lisithi, Unyana wam mnike intombi yakho, ibe ngumkakhe. Ke irhamncwa laseLebhanon ladlula, lalibhuqa ikhakakhaka elo.
19 Ùthi, Yabona, ndiwabulele amaEdom; yakuphakamisa intliziyo yakho, ukuba uzizukise. Hlala kaloku endlwini yakho; yini na ukuba okunene ufekethe ngobubi, uwe, wena namaYuda anawe.
20 Akaphulaphula uAmatsiya; ngokuba oko kwakuphuma kuThixo, ukuze abanikele esandleni seentshaba zabo; ngokuba babequqele izithixo zakwaEdom.
21 Wenyuka ke uYowashe ukumkani wakwaSirayeli; baqwalaselana ngamehlo, yena noAmatsiya ukumkani wakwaYuda, eBhete-shemeshe, ekwaYuda.
22 Atyelwa ke amaYuda ngamaSirayeli; asaba, yangulowo waya ententeni yakhe.
23 UYowashe ukumkani wakwaSirayeli wambamba uAmatsiya ukumkani wakwaYuda, unyana kaYowashe, unyana kaYehowahazi, eBhete-shemeshe, wamzisa eYerusalem; waluqhekeza udonga lwaseYerusalem, ethabathela esangweni lakwaEfrayim, wesa esangweni lembombo, iikubhite* ezimakhulu mané.
